I didn’t clue-in these forums were discourse…
If that’s the case, then this site needs an overhaul; the current way it’s arranged, both functionally and visually is very limiting, painfully mobile-centric, and doesn’t visually box-in information enough, along with wasting an absurd amount of screen real estate with empty space, making it not efficient to navigate at all.
There’s no clear way to see what categories, subforums, etc you are in without having to scroll through a mile of partially-loaded posts in any longer threads. It needs the UI structure more akin to traditional forums to give more information where you are on the site. It’s really not great for searching and navigating.
Without this information it just looks like a random facebook chat, or one of those messy comment sections at the bottom of news articles or something and you can get lost easily.
Unfortunately the Ask Forums are not very inviting nor particularly friendly to navigate.
Hyper-minimalism isn’t objectively good, it’s just a crappy corporate style trend.
the site needs to be as pleasant to use as possible if you want a lot of traffic here
ps: there should also be clear links to the vrchat support tickets system in the help, as well as the canny (or if you replace that god forsaken thing with something better)
